licensed practitioner. The Controlled Substances Act addresses only controlled substances and
their categorization. The Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment ensures drug efficacy and greater
drug safety. Drug manufacturers are required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of their
products before marketing them.

TOP: Nursing Process Step: Assessment CON: Patient Education | Addiction | Pain - Which action would the FDA take to expedite drug development and approval for an outbreak
of smallpox?
a. List smallpox as a health orphan disease.
b. Omit the preclinical research phase.
c. Extend the clinical research phase.
d. Fast track the investigational drug.
ANS: D
Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive
highest priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would
become a priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority
manner. Preclinical research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean
a longer time to develop a vaccine. The FDA must ensure that all phases of the preclinical and
clinical research phase have been completed in a safe manner.
